by Bruno Frank (1887 - 1945)

Sonn auf Sonn dich hellt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Sonn auf Sonn dich hellt]1,
Schnee und Regen fällt,
Meer, in dein lebendiges Gesicht.
Und kein Segel blinkt,
Jeder Abend sinkt,
Und in aller [Weite]2 kommt kein Licht.

Die vom Wachen brennt,
Meine Wange kennt
Trän [um]3 Träne, salzig Naß wie du.
Als ein Teil von dir
Quillen sie in mir.
Flute, Meer, sein Schiff, sein Schiff mir zu!
